Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for assigning a user to a lifting system having a plurality of elevators, wherein the user makes a destination call and at least one serves The elevator of the destination call is determined and notified to the user by an audible signal indicative of the lift. The present invention is further directed to such a lift system. [Prior Art] Conventionally, the assignment of a user to a one-lift system is mainly performed by an optical signal module (e.g., by a display module disposed near the channel h). After the destination call is placed, the user must observe the display modules of the different elevators at the docking positions of the floors to identify which elevators must be taken so that they can be carried to the floor of the destination to be visited. However, this type of distribution is not suitable for people with visual impairments, especially for blind people. A lifting system equipped with a plurality of lifts is known from WO 2005/1 1 8450 A1, in which a so-called lift identification device is provided in each floor and in the vicinity of the lifts, which emits a melody indicating each lift or group of lifts Sexual sound. This melody sound is constructed so that the melody of the first different tones can be used for different lifts. A destination call origination module having a plurality of switches and a loudspeaker is set up to achieve a destination call. In this module, a plurality of open relationships of the floors designated as different destinations are identified by a variety of different colors. However, the disadvantage of this type of elevator is that for the purpose of identifying a plurality of 1376349 elevators, it is necessary to create a number of first clearly distinguishable acoustic signal modules, such as machines or the like, which must be provided with a relatively compact design. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to develop a method for assigning a user to a lifting system as described herein so as to be adaptable via an audible signal that is operational and has a simple component. Another object of the present invention is to specify such a lifting system for use. As can be seen in the context of the above-mentioned object in accordance with claim 1 of the present invention, it is foreseen at the beginning of the present invention that all signals indicative of different elevators are composed of tone-specific tone signals. The individual lifts are identifiable by means of a pre-defined letter and/or at least one predefined signal interruption which can be distinguished by the user. The method according to the invention is based on the following After the elevators have been determined in principle, it is possible to achieve the effect of identifying the effects of the various elevators by having a certain tone, in which the signal tone is suspended and suspended for a limited period of time and/or a combination of debit characteristics. It is composed. In this manner, the signal can be of a signal code type, in other words, by a plurality of sounds, and a plurality of pauses can be selectively interposed between them. In order to achieve this, it is preferable to use a so-called Moss with a single melody that can be used as one of the basics and does not change the tone, which is achievable by the user of the simple method described in the MP3 playback. The various signal numbers used in the method are continually 〇: the signal conditioning at the notification rate is constructed by these devices to form different lengths of the ciphers, the number of which is therefore 1376349 which requires relatively less hardware, Therefore, a simple single-frequency transmitter can be used as the acoustic signal module. Other advantageous developments of the method according to the invention are described in the scope of claims 2 to 5. In a further advantageous development of the method, the signals are formed by a pre-defined signal code, preferably consisting of a Morse code. If a plurality of suitable elevators are determined, the signals defined for each of the determined elevators can be issued at intervals. In another advantageous development, the user issues the destination call by initiating at least one switch of a destination call originating module one or more times. A destination call origination module can, for example, be arranged to have only one switch in each floor of the hoist system, which allows the user to specify the desired destination floor by the number of times the switch is activated. For example, to pass its trip destination call to the fifth floor, the user activates the switch by pressing five times. The destination call originating module can also conveniently include an audio signal module so that each activation of the switch can be confirmed via a single tone signal tone. In another embodiment, the user is directed to the destination call origination module by an audible signal. This means that after a blind person enters a building, it will be first guided by a single-tone tone type acoustic signal or a melody consisting of a plurality of tones to the destination call-issuing module. The user can place their destination call. In addition, a lifting system equipped with a plurality of elevators is provided with at least one destination call issuing module, in a manner as defined in claim 6 of the scope of the present application, which is capable of achieving the aforementioned object. Sending a destination call with 1376349; a destination call control module determinable - an elevator to serve the destination call; and at least one audio signal module capable of emitting an audible signal to specify the user to the determined The elevators; the signals identifying all the different elevators are composed of a dedicated single-frequency signal tone, and the various signals that can identify the individual elevators are pre-defined by one of the differences that can be distinguished by the user. The signal duration and/or at least one pre-defined signal interruption is recognized. Advantageous embodiments of the lifting system implemented in accordance with the present invention are described in claims 7 to 10. An elevator system that is implemented in this manner utilizes the advantages of the method implemented in accordance with the present invention. In accordance with the above description of the method implemented in accordance with the present invention, if the signal is advantageously comprised of a predefined signal code, it is preferably comprised of a Morse code to indicate different lifts. The destination call issuance module is advantageously disposed adjacent to the docking position of the elevator and has at least one switch. The destination call origination module preferably includes a plurality of switches, and each switch can be identified by a touch facility that can indicate a switch function (e.g., a destination floor). Therefore, for example, a telephone keypad or a plurality of switches corresponding to the floor can be provided, and each switch is equipped with a floor designation facility of a Braille type by a corresponding surface structure, and the blind person can perceive via touch This facility. Preferably, the signal module is disposed adjacent the elevator access door, adjacent the elevator car, and/or in the docking area of the elevator. Preferably, at least one destination call issuance module is provided in the entrance area of each of the landing stations of the elevator system. The 137634.9 destination call issuance module is advantageously equipped with another switch that is labeled with an optically and tactilely identifiable symbol. The function of this button is that the audible signals are generated only when the button is activated before the destination is input, so as to prevent the surrounding environment from sustaining the signal tone. The destination call origination module is advantageously equipped with an RFID. Reader device' and the blind person preferably has a card or mobile phone that can be detected by the reader. In conjunction with this card, the type of trip destination and type of disability can be stored. The person with a disability can automatically receive the audio location assistance by simply carrying the card into the vicinity of the reader for reading the upcoming destination call. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a method and an apparatus implemented according to the present invention will be described with reference to an exemplary embodiment. One of the lifting systems implemented in accordance with the present invention includes a plurality of elevators that are operable between a plurality of floors. To achieve control of the lifting system, a control module is provided with a destination call origination module that receives a destination call originated by the user and then determines at least one lift suitable for serving the destination call. In order to achieve the purpose of placing a destination call, a destination call origination module having a plurality of switches is disposed in each of the docking area of the elevating system, and the switches correspond to the number of floors. Each of the switches is equipped with a Braille-type haptic facility with a raised floor indicating the floor. In addition, each elevator door is given an acoustic signal module. The signal module includes a single-frequency signal tone transmitter, which is configured to emit a sequence of single-frequency signal tones, and the serial single-single 1376349 tone can be used. It is spaced apart by a plurality of pauses so that the user can be assigned to one of the elevator access doors. At this time, if a blind person enters a building equipped with the lifting device and reaches the destination call issuing module located in the lower floor area of the porch area of the lifting system, the user can recognize by the touch. Use Braille to indicate the switch to the desired destination floor. After the individual switch is activated, the destination call will be delivered to the destination call origination module. The destination call control module determines a lift suitable for carrying the user to the desired destination floor and provides the user with a designation of the lift (eg, a letter) by a correspondingly configured single frequency signal tone Or digital), and the single-frequency signal tone is formed by the tone signal module in the destination call sending module. Therefore, for example, the four lifts A, B, C and D in the lift system can be specified by the following signal tones ("one" = long; "·" = short): lift A: 'lift B: . _ - ' lift C: -. One, lift D: · _. Between the "long" and "short" individual signal tone components, a number of signal interruptions having a predetermined length are also provided. The same single tone signal tone will then be heard from the signal module of the designated elevator access door. In this manner, the blind can self-locate by this signal tone and move in the direction of the designated elevator access door. In addition, it is foreseeable that after the elevator car arrives at the start floor, and after the elevator door and the elevator car are opened, another audible signal module disposed in or on the elevator car can emit the same signal tone to transmit the message. The user knows that the elevator car can be boarded at this time. -10- 137634.9 The above-described exemplary embodiments relate to a method implemented in accordance with the present invention, and to a lifting apparatus implemented in accordance with the present invention, and which is particularly characterized by the use of a single-frequency signal tone transmitter. An acoustic signal module that is relatively simple in structure can be used, and it does not need to retain many beautifully pre-made beautiful tones. [Simple description of the diagram] &
